Learn Guitar Parts

Learn Guitar Parts
A guitar is made up of many parts you can learn.
All guitars have a headstock, tuning machines, and a nut.
All guitars have a fret board, frets, and a body, as well.
Acoustic guitars have a soundhole, while some electric guitars don't have a soundhole.
Electric guitars have pickups to pick up the sound, while some acoustic guitars don't have pickups.
Look at the image below to see the parts of the guitar labeled.

Guitar Strings and Tuning

First things, first.
A standard guitar has 6 strings.
Each string should be tuned to a certain pitch so your guitar will sound good.
Those pitches are E, A, D, G, B, and e.
Most guitar tuners have an automatic GUITAR mode for helping you tune strings to these pitches.


As you can see above, the 1st string is the high e string.  The 1st string is closest to the floor.
Then the strings move up to the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and the 6th string.
The 6th string is closest to the ceiling.
Now, you can tune your strings to the right pitches with any decent guitar tuner.
The 6th string should be tuned to Low E.          (this turns out to be 82.41 Hertz in frequency)
The 5th string should be tuned to an A note.    (the 5th string is 110 Hertz in frequency)
The 4th string should be tuned to a D note.      (the 4th string is 146.83 Hertz in frequency)
The 3rd string should be tuned to a G note.     (the 3rd string is 196 Hertz in frequency)
The 2nd string should be tuned to a B note.     (the 2nd string is 246.94 Hertz in frequency)
Finally, the 1st string should be tuned to a high e note.(the 1st string is 329.63 Hertz in frequency)

Always tune your guitar before playing it.  Pitch matters and your guitar strings will sound good together.
*I recommend tuning the 6th string (Low E) first, then A, then D, then G, then B, then the
1st string (high e) last.
*If you try to tune the 1st string (high e) first, it might snap because it is soooo thin!

P.S. Here are links to a couple of guitar tuners.
My first ever, and it still works  … http://www.amazon.com/Qwik-Tune-QT1-Guitar-Tuner/dp/B0002CZW3Q
For more advanced players… this is a chromatic tuner I own and use…
it’s not as simple to use, beginners should get the Qwik Tune above.
